I took microcytic hypochromic anaemia treatment for 2 months (hb was 7.8) and got sudden acne flare up all over my face and neck and also gained 6 kg weight. I read that that taking vitamin b12 increases the amount of that vitamin on facial skin. This, in turn, causes a certain facial bacteria (propionibacterium acnes) to produce more of something called piriformis, which results in inflammation. And this could lead to acne. Before treatment my vitamin b12 levels were 362 pg/ml (211-911), folate was 9.20, ferritin - 56, plasma glucose random - hexokinase 106 and I was given 1500 mg methylcobalamin, folic acid 5 mg, ferrous sulphate 200 mg bd, ascorbic acid 500 mg bd for 2 months everyday. My lymphocytes are 51. It has been 10 days after stopping this medication but still new pus filled acne is coming everyday. Could it be because of methylcobalamin or high lymphocytes? Should I get porphyrins tests done? What to do for acne caused due to vitamin b12?

very less possibility of porphyrins.. treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

No need to take more folic acid now. Though if there is a complication or a past complication your doctor may ask you to continue it. So consult your doctor.

Best way to play safe with Ayurveda for potential pregnancy. Start with Sitopaladi+ prawal pishti and mandoor bhasm. Its nost safe and side effects less combo. Also phala ghrit to be used with milk (not vey tasty but high class uterus strength enhancer and conception). After you conceive, garbhchintamani rasa should be added. U will get fair, properly developed and intelligent child. This is Ayurveda 's wisdom. Better meet some Ayurvedic doctor near you or consult us privately for full guidance.

Do not worry. Folic acid before getting pregnant is important when there is some history of unsuccessful outcome of pregnancy in any way. You have started taking it now and will continue it also , so no problem.
